Yamaha XS650
This is a medium-sized motorbike created and distributed by Yamaha Motor Company. It came out in 1968 and remained in production until 1979. After that, the Japanese company made a “Special” cruiser that was on the market until the mid-‘80s. Apparently, the original engine of the XS650 goes all the way back to the ‘50s in the form of a Hosk 500 cc single overhead. After some ownership issues, Yamaha worked on the design instead. It also introduced the 650 cc twin and was for sale until the mid-‘80s.

Yamaha YZR500
Did you know that the Yamaha YZR500 was meant to be a racing bike? It represented the company in various 500cc Grand Prix from 1970 all the way to the ‘00s. The design caught the attention of bike fans and the general public alike. Sadly, authorities forbid driving most racing bikes on the road. We are glad to hear that Yamaha stepped up by allowing its mass-production after some time.
